This is part 2 of my Omega 8003 juicer review on video. In this video you witness the Omega 8003 juicing more vegetables of different densities. You can see how well it juices leafy greens like spinach and parsley which most juicers don’t do well at all. The slow moving auger of this juicer is perfect for this kind of stuff. It crushes the produce gently and slowly into the juicing cone. The video shows this process up close. I just love this machine. It is not a fast juicing machine and you do spend a little more time with prep but it is worth it because the juice yield is higher. And the juice quality is better because the vegetables and fruit aren’t shredded to bits but instead are slowly crushed. Many feel this process is better for extracting the juice from the vegetable walls and I tend to agree with that.
If you compare this juice extractor with the others I’ve done videos on, I think you’ll see why it is the best choice.
I’ve got a Jack Lalanne juicer, a Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95xl juicer and a Green Star gs1000 juicer videos

I finally finished my video review of the Omega 8003 juicer. This is Part 1. This is by far the best juicer I’ve come across so far. It is able to juice everything well and especially leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, parsley and beet greens. I’m impressed with the workmanship, the 10 year warranty and how easy this juicer is to use. As you can see in Part 2 (coming soon) of my juicer video reviews it is the fastest to clean as well. Also I doubt there is a quieter juicer on the market.
This is a juicer that will last forever and is priced just right for a serious machine. It is a $100 more than a Jack Lalanne juicer and a lot better quality than those which don’t last and aren’t very well made. The same price as a Champion juicer which would be a bad purchase to make in my opinion because the machine doesn’t work that well. (See my video reviews of that. You’ll be shocked. I was.) And it is $200 less than a Green Star gs 1000 twin gear juicer and easier to clean. (See my video on the Green Star juicer in a couple weeks.)

Here is the second half of the Champion Juicer 2000+ review that I did a while ago. I haven’t been here for quite a while. I had some serious health issues. Turned out I had a colon tumor the size of a ping-pong ball. I don’t know how long it had been there but it was almost completely blocking my colon off. It did not feel good. The pain was unbearable and put me into emergency about 6 weeks ago. Surgery seemed to go pretty well although I’m still recovering. The whole experience was bizarre and continues to be strange. I’m in the process of writing about it on my www.jamesrubel.com blog. It does again point to just how important it is to take care of ourselves. I did almost everything right and I still got sick. Juicing is becoming even more critical to keeping our bodies in good health.
Anyway, so I’m back and I’ve got videos for 3 new juicers coming soon. I’m redoing the Omega 8003 juicer review because I didn’t like the footage very much. I can do it better. And I’ll be putting up videos for the Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95xl juicer and Jack Lalanne Power Juicer soon. Both of these juicers are centrifugal juicers but even though they are similar in price, they had huge differences as to quality. I’m surprised by the quality issues many American companies seem to be suffering. I find it quite upsetting and in the videos I let it be know my true feelings. Look for those soon.

I recently finished this video review of the Braun Mp80 juicer. This juice extractor has been a great little machine and a good introductiion to juicing for me when I got it. However, I don’t think Braun even makes it anymore and besides there are much better juicers available now. Granted the better ones like the Omega 8003 or Breville juicers are more money, they just offer a much better quality juice and juicing experience.
The reason I did the video was to show basically how a centrifugal juicer works and to let people compare it to other juicers like the Champion, Brevilles or Omegas.

I finally finished my Champion 2000+ juicer review video. This is Part 1 above. Part 2 will be up soon. Shortly I’ll be upgrading my Champion 2000+ juicer text review too to reflect what I discovered during my use of this household juicer. To be honest, I was not impressed by this machine. It works and you can get by with it but there are many juicers on the market that are just a lot better in my opinion. I’m a bit puzzled as to why everyone doing juicer reviews seems to pay lip service when they write reviews about it. The juicer design seems outdated and it isn’t very effective in it’s processing of fruit and vegetables when compared to the Omega 8003 or 8005 juicers, the Breville juicers or the Greenstar twin gear juicers. Check out the video(s) and see what you think.
